Giannini Peak (71°0′S 62°50′W) is a peak 13 nautical miles (24 km) east-southeast of Mount Nordhill in the eastern part of Palmer Land, Antarctica. The peak stands on the north side of Dana Glacier at the point where the glacier makes a left (northeast) turn toward Lehrke Inlet. It was mapped by the United States Geological Survey in 1974, and named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Albert P. Giannini, a United States Antarctic Research Program biologist at Palmer Station, 1973.
